WTF is retiring?

Rather retire and play starcraft

God I LOVE one day shipping from Amazon Prime TM, don’t you too?

Yeah I can imagine it messing up just once and burning the back of your neck would be enough to never want to turn it on.

The no map bit was intimidating at first, but then it started to feel like the maps were just designed so well you had to progress

Add artificial intelligence somewhere in there

Did researchers just use AI to train ecoli to play doom??? No but watch these ads

Yeah, kinda sick of some of the so called Doom hacks.

I saw one where they claimed they made a pregnancy test play doom. No, the dude got a small OLED display that he hooked up to a computer that ran doom and displayed it, then put the OLED in a pregnancy test, where it normally had a different and likely worse OLED.

That isn’t the point of the can it run doom thing at all

The game is like the perfect level of hard imo, just difficult enough to feel like I’m actually gaming and not just “spending more time” like most games feel these days, but not so hard that it’s about punishment.

It feels fair, where you take your time and learn how things move and you will win. You rush through, and you will die. And you’re not forced to repeat the same steps over and over either. Sometimes you can just burrow through knowing how enemies attack and skip areas.

It’s honestly super frustrating to me that this level of difficulty isn’t more common. So many games these days feel like you’re just having your hand held like, “yep, you press down to duck! Guess what, the next enemy shoots. You gotta duck under that shot! Oh no, you didn’t. But we didn’t take any health away, we just played a sound effect that sounds like you got hurt ❤️. Don’t worry. None of it matters. The important thing is you walk past this and enter the next scene and spend 5 minutes watching a cut scene”.

Like ffs games feel way too cozy these days, or extremely difficult where the point is it’s hard. There’s rarely good middle ground like this.

Funny, that boss was super easy for me. I think the weapon choice can really matter.

Mostly people miss it… Unless you were gay. Then you probably have some unhappy memories about that time. Of course there’s nostalgia for other stuff, but civil rights were way worse for lgbtq.

I’m surprised no one brought this up yet. Being gay in the 90s would be about as controversial as being trans now, and it would not be okay to walk around holding hands with your same sex partner unless you were in a known gay area. it might not be illegal, but it would’ve attracted attention, probably people would’ve said slurs at least. The f slur was used in television and movies until around the 90s. People just used it like “nerd” or “dweeb”. Cocksucker was a pretty bad insult, insinuating someone was gay being pretty damn insulting at the time.

Things were significantly worse for lgbtq people, and there was the fear of HIV being basically a death sentence, and it wouldn’t have been long after people called it the “gay disease”. Some people were very uneducated about that stuff. My mom, who believed that gay men were our equals and should have equal rights, told me not to touch my gay teacher or shake his hand or anything because he might have “a disease”. Thankfully my father was more medically knowledgeable and told her it doesn’t spread like that, even if he had it.

It wasn’t until around after the 2000s at least that gay people were proudly saying, “HIV is no longer a death sentence”. It used to be a disease running rampant that no one gave a shit about because of homophobia basically. Fucking Reagan.

It’s not a tumah

It’s the year 2099. Nvidia-Johnson Inc has just announced a new breakthrough years after their merger. Biotech finally found a means to turn human flesh into… RAM

But they need our utilities, all of them. So they want to get ahead of the game and take over that side of government now.

Except water. I bet this is some weird way of arguing they are a utility so have a right to utility infrastructure and how water is distributed.

Less “we are a utility” and more “we need all your utilities, all your clean water, all your power, and we want to decide how it’s used”

Why is Newsome trying to be even less popular before the primaries?

All you have to say is the two magic words, “tax billionaires”. For fucks sake Newsome
